Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 385 What Could Stop Me?

Joseph's eyes were locked on Lela, filled with unmistakable desire. He hadn't seen a woman this stunning in ages.

The woman next to him noticed and wasn't thrilled. She shook his arm and said, "Joseph." Joseph ignored her.

The host, James, approached Charley with a friendly smile. "Terry, what brings you here?"

Before Charley could answer, Joseph let go of his companion and walked over. "Terry, how's your injury? It was my fault Last time. I'm sorry. Forgive me." His eyes darted to Lela. Lela winked at Joseph, wearing an insincere smile.

Joseph thought she was interested in him and felt secretly pleased.

Charley, noticing this, glared at Joseph. "Keep those eyes to yourself, or I'll gouge them out."

She belonged to Sylvester, and only to him.

Joseph sneered, "So what if I look? You gonna hit me?"

Charley smirked, then grabbed Joseph by the neck, lifted him, and slammed him down hard. The crowd gasped.

Lela watched, feeling a thrill, and thought Charley was really cool.

Joseph lay on the ground, his face twisted in pain and anger. "How dare you!"

Charley, like Sylvester, was freakishly strong. He flexed his hands and looked at Joseph with disdain. "What could stop me from beating your ass?" Joseph's companion rushed to help him up, but he pushed her away, gritting his teeth. "What are you waiting for? Beat him to death."

Several burly bodyguards emerged, glaring at Charley. The scene turned chaotic.

James, the host, quickly called for security.

Just as a fight was about to break out, Lela walked over to Joseph, said with a smile, "Joseph, calm down."

Charley tried to pull Lela away, but she stopped him with a look. "Stand back."

Charley refused, "No, he doesn't mean something well."

He regretted bringing Lela here. If he'd known, he wouldn't have, no matter how much she insisted.

James stepped in to calm things down. "Joseph, don't clash with Terry. Terry, apologize to Joseph. Let's end this and stay friends."

Joseph rubbed his butt, eyes flashing with desire. "He hit me; this won't get off easily. Unless..."

Lela said with a smile, "So, Joseph, how do you want to resolve this?"
